"Fang Yuan, hang in there, we are here to help you!" Jiao San had a concerned expression, shouting as he strode into the room.
But at the next moment, he was stunned.
There was no one in the room, Fang Yuan was not here.
The four were silent.
"How could this be, where is he?" Jiao San broke the silence, feeling embarrassed and angry.
He had been acting for half a day, but it was a one-man show, and Fang Yuan was not even in the room.
The three looked at each other, not expecting such an outcome.
"This is strange, if Fang Yuan is not here, why would he paste that note on the door?" Kong Jing said carefully.
"Hurry and call the landlord over!" Jiao San raised his leg and kicked the door away.
"You are looking for me, hmph, I am looking for you. As soon as he came to my building, he made a scene and even kicked my door in. Young man, you are quite capable. "The landlord was an old man, but his tone was strong.
To have extra houses in the Guyue village that could be rented out, they were all Gu Masters.
Gu Masters' strength and status were above mortals. Mortals did not dare to do this business, and in fact, they did not have any property.
All the properties in the village belonged to the Guyue clan. The mortals who lived here were all serfs and servants raised by the lord.
"Senior, we are looking for a young man, he is our group member." Facing the landlord, Jiao San controlled his temper.
An old Gu Master like the landlord, although he was old and no longer working outside, he still had connections and a network. However, they still had connections and a network. Although they had retired to the second line, they still had a lot of power.
Without some trump cards and connections, how would he dare to do business?
This world was not peaceful, it was filled with violence and plundering.
The landlord shook his head, his tone harsh, "I do not care about the tenant's whereabouts, but I know that you broke my door, so you have to compensate."
"Hehe, this is our fault, we should compensate." Jiao San laughed dryly, his heart filled with anger, but he still compensated Yuan stone, and even gave a little more.
The landlord's expression immediately became much better. "If the young man who rented this house is the person you're looking for, then he hasn't been back for a day. He paid a month's rent, and yesterday morning bought a great many things, and asked me where I could buy coal and stone cheaply. "There's no need to buy it. There's a valley to the east of the stronghold. There's a bare mine there that we can excavate directly." He thanked me and left. After that, he never came back. "
"Is that so." Jiao San looked at the decorations in the room.
Indeed, the bedding on the bed was brand new. There was a square table and chairs, which were second-hand goods. They looked quite sturdy.
The stove was empty. There were no coal stones in it.
Jiao San let out a long breath and calmed down.
"It seems that Fang Yuan was delayed by the coal excavation. Forget it, let's come back tomorrow. "He walked out of the room first.
However, on the third day, Fang Yuan did not appear.
Jiao San and the others stood in the room and hesitated.
"It doesn't take that long to dig for coal. Fang Yuan wants to go into closed door cultivation, maybe he wants to dig a bit more at once. But that time is already long past. Did something happen to him while he was digging? "Kong Jing guessed.
Jiao San nodded his head, pointing at the bedding and stove that Fang Yuan bought: "This kid is very stingy. He paid a month's worth of Yuan stone, and bought so many things. He even specially pasted a note on the door, he probably wants to go into closed door cultivation here. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. These days, because of the expansion of the wolf den, the wild beasts around the stronghold have become more active. Maybe he met some wild beasts. "
"Team leader is wise!" The two female members praised at the same time, flattering him.
Jiao San laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I was just worrying about how to deal with him. Although we have a mission to capture wild deer, let's not rush out. If we meet this kid in the wilderness, we can't just leave him to die, right? "
"Hehehe." The other three members couldn't help but laugh.
On the fourth day.
Inside the aperture, waves of dark green water kept surging, crashing against the walls of the aperture.
The translucent white crystal wall was already filled with deep cracks, crisscrossing each other.
This was the result of Fang Yuan's hard work for three days and three nights, without any sleep or rest. At most, when he could not take it anymore, he would quickly eat a meal to solve the problem of excretion.
These days, Fang Yuan had been purposely suppressing the waves, and at the same time, absorbing the natural primeval essence from the Yuan stone. Thus, after such a long time, the green copper primeval sea had only gone from its limit of 44% to 20%.
As time passed, when the green copper primeval sea had only 13% of its water left, the crystal wall could not hold on any longer, and reached its limit.
Kacha …
The originally thick and sturdy crystal wall was broken, countless crystal shards fell down, landing in the primeval sea, creating waves. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a crystal white dot, and completely disappeared.
What replaced the crystal wall was a brand new white light wall.
This was the Rank 2 light wall, although there were not many changes, and it still emitted white light, but it was much more dazzling than the Rank 1 light wall.
At the same time, a trace of light red primeval essence was formed in the primeval sea, and mixed in the bottom of the aperture, in the shallow dark green primeval sea.
This was the red steel primeval essence that only a Rank 2 beginner stage had!
"Success, I finally broke through to Rank 2!" Fang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light instantly lit up the dark room.
But immediately, a strong sense of dizziness came over him.
"Continuous training for four days and three nights, the intensity is very high, my body can't take it anymore." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, and slowly laid down, "The training process was not disturbed, it seems that the set I set up in the rented house has already worked. The money spent was worth it. I will rest well for the night, and return to the village tomorrow. "
Thinking of this, a strong sense of drowsiness came over him.
Fang Yuan forced his eyelids open, and with his strong willpower, he covered his body with the quilt at the head of the bed.
When he closed his eyelids, in just a few breaths time, he fell into a deep sleep.
The previous training had already used up a large amount of his mental energy.
This sleep lasted until the afternoon of the second day.
When Fang Yuan opened his eyes, he felt that his mental energy had recovered by more than half, but there was still a feeling of weakness in his bones.
He pushed open the door, and walked out of the room for the first time in five days.
This movement immediately attracted someone.
This person had long and thin eyes, and a skinny body, it was Jiang Ya's brother, Jiang He.
Seeing the haggard Fang Yuan, he let out a breath of turbid air, and said: "You finally came out, phew, if you didn't come out in a few days, I would have really broken the door and come in. After all, if you died here, I would have to bear a huge responsibility. "
Fang Yuan smiled, and did not say anything.
The winter sun shone through the window, and on his body and face, it made him look even more pale and weak.
As early as five days ago, he purposely asked the landlord, and gave Jiao San and the rest clues about the coal. Then he left the village, and went straight to the village at the foot of the mountain.
Because of his relationship with Old Man Wang's family, Jiang He had become half his ally. Using this relationship, Fang Yuan lived in the village for the past few days, and without any disturbance, he successfully broke through to Rank two.
Of course, the rock crack secret cave was much more secretive than Jiang He's, but it was not safe. Fang Yuan also had to consider the possibility that if Jiao San and the rest insisted on looking for him, they might find the rock crack secret cave.
Although this possibility was small, once the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance was found, Fang Yuan's life would be in danger.
Fang Yuan was cautious in his actions, and naturally would not take this risk.
At the same time, Jiang He's side was also safer. Although they had a common secret, Jiang He would not kill him because of this.
The trouble and risk of killing a Gu Master was too great. Without enough benefits, Jiang He would not have the motive to commit murder. On the contrary, because he had to keep the secret, Jiang He would be more worried about Fang Yuan's safety.
Once Fang Yuan died, the clan's punishment hall would investigate, and maybe Old Man Wang's family's secret would be unearthed.
Seeing Fang Yuan come out safely, Jiang He heaved a sigh of relief.
But very quickly, he felt the aura on Fang Yuan's body, and his expression changed, "To think that you really succeeded and broke through to Rank two in one go!"
He was very surprised in his heart. Five days ago, when Fang Yuan came to find him and explained his intentions, he was actually a little disdainful.
To absorb the natural primeval essence in the Yuan stone while breaking through to Rank two, this method used both the mind and the spirit, and it consumed a lot of energy. Normally speaking, a Gu Master must have extremely strong willpower, patience, and at least a few years of cultivation experience.
With these cultivation experiences, a Gu Master can absorb the primeval essence in the Yuan stone as a kind of instinct. At the same time, they can skillfully control the primeval sea waves, and suppress the impact to a certain degree. And this degree must be just right. Not only can it resist the aperture wall's self-recovery, but it can also not be used up too quickly, complementing the primeval essence recovery and replenishing it in time.
In Jiang He's opinion, Fang Yuan's chances of success were almost zero, but he did not expect him to succeed in one go.
Fang Yuan laughed indifferently, "I was just lucky. I plan to go back to the village today, but before that, it would be best if I can have a meal. "
"Hehehe, Brother Fang Yuan, since you're here, of course I'll take care of your food and drink." Jiang He patted his chest, his attitude becoming even more amiable.
Although he was not optimistic about Fang Yuan's future, now that Fang Yuan had successfully advanced to Rank two, it meant that he had passed a hurdle and already had the qualifications to be on equal footing with him.
After a sumptuous banquet, Jiang He personally sent Fang Yuan to the village entrance.
"Brother Fang Yuan, be careful on this trip. Recently, the wolf nest has been a little chaotic, causing the wild beasts around the village to move more frequently. Eh, it's snowing again. "Jiang He paused for a moment, then continued," In my opinion, don't leave. How about staying for a night? "
Ever since Fang Yuan had advanced to Rank two, he had become even more enthusiastic.
But Fang Yuan insisted on leaving, and bade farewell to Jiang He.
Snow fell bit by bit, quietly, like pure white fur, slowly drifting down.
The light of the setting sun dyed the snow into a golden color.
Bits of snow fell on Fang Yuan's head and shoulders.
Far away, the Guyue village stood quietly on the mountainside, in sight.
I swear I will never trust Dian Dian's timing anymore …)
